Ground Zero Emergency K9 Training
| |
| Ground Zero was founded in 2016 by legendary football coach Barry Switzer & his wife, Oklahoma native Becky out of a great desire to positively impact the shortage of highly trained canine and handler search and rescue teams.
Oklahomans have a reputation for being generous, friendly caring people willing to do anything to help a neighbor. This “Oklahoma Spirit ” shines through even the darkest of tragedies, including the bombing of the Oklahoma City Murrah building in April 1995 and.. READ MORE

| Rotary Taught Me Things I Did Not Know That I Needed to Knowby Franci Hart
Ugh!
What could be more boring than a program on the Amazon distribution system. I was fully prepared to leave early when this program was announced. And I am so glad I did not.
Instead, I was fascinated by the logistics that are necessary to deliver my package on time. And so glad I stayed for the entire program.
Rotary programs frequently surprise me and almost always inform me. Few civic organizations can offer Mayor Holt’s unabashed enthusiasm for our city or the legal insights of our state’s Attorney General. And I loved hearing Lee Allen Smith’s memories. (He sold his very first radio ad to my father.) And Russell Perry was monumental.
Always glad to receive an update on our Zoo and the OK Hall of Fame. The program on Not Your Average Joe and their work with special adults gave me hope for my grandson who is a Downs child.

| Advertising Space Available
Advertising support makes it possible for Club 29 to publish news and information critical to our members, such as meeting notices, speaker schedules, and other crucial communications. Your message would be seen by our community's most prominent leaders and gain incredible exposure on the world wide web. The advertising revenue pays for the software we use to design and distribute the newsletters as well as Club 29's website hosting, so your support is important to all members.
There are a few ad spaces available, but filling them is very important for our club’s member communications. If you are interested, you may find more information here or contact the Rotary office.
